how to become the best author of the month

Headline

Precise, metaphorical or with a direct indication of the topic. It can be with intrigue, but without lies and yellow journalism. The title corresponds to the text, and the text reveals the title.

KDPV (cover)

Not clip art, interesting, with a metaphor, humor, or directly illustrating the text (screenshot of code, error, photo of the office, etc.).

Lead paragraph (introduction)

Engaging, maintaining intrigue. Can be completely detached, but should still emphasize the main idea of ​​the text.

Beginning of the article

Without theorizing, boring definitions, long introductions, lists (“let's remember five advantages of using OOP”) . This is an immersion into the article, essentially the second lead, which touches on the topic directly. You are writing for experienced people.

The central part and the central idea

Clear, stated, disclosed. Should continue and expand all previous elements. The culmination of the text, which removes some of the questions and makes you think or dive into the content.

Conclusion of the article

Conclusions, results – everything that draws the line, partially summarizes what has been said and is so interesting that it can send a malicious article scroller to the end as a thoughtful reader.

Layout

Neat, divided into blocks, logical, like a road with markings that the reader should walk along comfortably.

Gadgets, body kit, tuning

Anything that can make the content “juicier and tastier”: diagrams, stories, infographics, ironic images, etc.
